Amazing. I checked a few days ago and thought I had missed some action. But only found the final 7.1 I had downloaded to test.

Then an email notification popped up about the alpha 4 out. Alpha 4!?

It's like a noise waveform around here. There no action for a few days. Then suddenly a burst of alphas hits the streets!
